Amazing trek with incredible guide!
I did a 9-day trek in the lower Annapurna region with a group 12 people, led by Ram and Dan and a group of awesome porters. I could not have dreamed up a better experience. I felt so safe with Ram and Dan as our guides, knowing that they were going to make the best decisions for our route based on conditions and abilities of each of the group members. They are so kind and knowledgeable, and so generously welcomed us into Nepal and shared the sacred mountains with us. We had wonderful experiences together as a group, mixed with moments of peaceful solitude along the trail knowing that our guides were keeping track of everyone's whereabouts. I highly recommend this experience to anyone, and know that it wouldn't be what it was without Ram's incredible leadership. Contact Ram to be your guide and you will be in the best hands!

Trekking Nepal with Ram Shahi was Incredible!
My group trekked for 9-days in 2020, through Chommrong, Tadapani, Ghorepani, Tikkhedunga, etc. Ram Shahi helped me hike with confidence and humor throughout the Annapurna Trail trek. Ram is an incredible trekking guide; he’s smart and humble and so kind; he has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Himalayas (his English is excellent), and knows the trails as if they’re the lines on his own hands. Ram is full of illuminating facts regarding the mountains, flora and fauna, local villagers, and so much more. He always has your safety in mind. I am speaking truth when I say that I couldn’t have finished my trek without him. If you’re ever considering trekking Nepal, Ram is your man.

Great Trip to Pokhara and Poon Hill
We had an incredible trip to Pokhara and Poon Hill. We only had 4 days of time but it all worked out perfectly. We flew to Pokhara from Kathmandu and were directly picked up from the airport by our awesome guide Mr Ram. Our trekking permits had already been organized so we could go directly to the starting point. We started hiking and went to Ulleri on the first day where we stayed in a nice teahouse our guide organized for us. On our way there, we learned a lot about the local plants, the villages and nepali culture. On the second day we went to Ghorepani where we stayed for one night and went up to Poon Hill early on the next day to see the sunrise. The view was absolutely spectacular. After that we had to walk all the way back which was quite exhausting but out guide was very supportive and we were really happy we did it. After one night in Pokhara we returned to Kathmandu. Everything went as planned and the time frame was also realistic. It was all perfectly organized and we didn’t have to worry about where to stay or about too high prices. We can definitely recommend!

Nepal in our heart
We had the chance to join Ram during our 9-days trekking to Annapurna Base Camp in October 2014. We had really great time together with him and it was really pleasant to spend days with Ram ,walking hard but always in a comfortable way and respecting each other time, listening stories about Nepalese people and culture, learning the name of all beautiful Annapurna's range peaks. Ram is a very good guide, always present but never intrusive, very kind and effective in finding a place where to sleep well even in the most crowded period. Thus, we highly reccomend him, enjoy his competence, experience and company!

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
annpurna base camp trekking: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does annpurna base camp trekking cost?
+
Prices start at $1100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does annpurna base camp trekking take?
+
Plan for about 288 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.
Is annpurna base camp trekking worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 44 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule annpurna base camp trekking?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is annpurna base camp trekking suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 19. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 288-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book annpurna base camp trekking?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does annpurna base camp trekking start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?
+
On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
